Reasons and motivations for home education

The most common reasons given for homeschooling are:

  • Customizable curriculum and learning environment for each child.
  • Accomplish more academically than in schools.
  • Use pedagogical approaches other than those typical in institutional schools.
  • Enhance relationships between children and parent and among siblings.
  • Provide guided and reasoned social interactions with peers and adults.
  • Provide a safer environment for children.
  • It is an alternative education approach when public or private institutional schools are closed due to disease (e.g. Covid-19).
  • Protect minority children from racism in public schools or lower expectations of children of colour.
  • Teach and impart a particular set of values, beliefs, and worldview.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
